However, according to the organization, in 2014, Bill Gates became the second richest person in the world after Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, whose net worth was estimated at$80 billion. The fifth richest person was the American investor Warren Buffet with a net worth of $62 billion.Both Gates and Buffet have signed something called “The Giving Pledge”.This campaign encourages the wealthiest people in the world to give 50% or more of their wealth to charity.

Perhaps you do your shopping in brick-and-mortar stores, preferring to be able to see and touch the things you buy.

It was really difficult not to buy them if they were beside me while I was waiting in the queue. Now that I shop online, I never have to deal with these temptations. I’m definitely eating more healthily.”So are there any disadvantag es to shopping online? “It’s not always the best way to shop if you’re buying fresh food like fruit and vegetables.” Sara admits, “I think it’s a good idea to look at food like that to make sure it’s fresh.

According to Sara, what is the one disadvantage of online food shopping?A. You can’t make sure that fruit and vegetables are fresh.B. Fruit and vegetables are more expensive.C.

Expressions Learned In Displayat the moment make … use of take in turn… inas…as got stuck it took give offII. Language In Context1. Information Related To The TextEnergy Crisis:This phrase usually refers to a critical shortage in the supply of energy—producing fuels, such as gas, oil, and coal. During the early 1970‟s, the demand for petroleum increased sharply, and western countries depended heavily on imported supplies. The situation became worse during the Arab-Israeli war of 1973, when the Arab nations reduced oil production and embargoed oil shipments to the U.S. and other countries that supported Israel, causing an acute energy shortagein these countries during the winter of 1973-1974, thus first came “energy crisis.”Renewable Energy Resources:“Rnewable enerny resources” refers to sources of energy which are capable of being renewed or cannot be depleted by use, such as watwe, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and marine-based power.2. Introductory Remarks:In this article, the author discusses energy crisis. There are two main groups of energy: renewable and nonrenewable. Most of the energy we use comes from the nonnewable. These days, more people are using more machines to do things every day at work and at home, and we need more energy than we …ve ever needed. This rise trend of energy consupmtion is obvious. We are faced with a serios energy crisis.The fact of the decrease in the reserves of traditional fossil fuel and the increase in the consumption demand makes it very urgent to take measures to resolve the problem of energy crisis. So now people are working hard to find cleaner and renewable alternatives of energy, such as hydrogen energy, wind energy, solar energy and nuclear energy.3. Language Points:(1) more people are using more machines to do things every day at work and at home.现在进行时，表示近期的发展趋势或正在变化中的情况。
